This is a very personal project for Nick as, in January 2019 it will be 25 years since his mother, Coral Elliott, died at the age of 64 from pancreatic cancer only 12 weeks after she had been diagnosed with the disease.

About 9,000 people are newly diagnosed with pancreatic cancer each year in the UK alone, with worldwide figures standing at 338,000 new cases each year. The disease affects men and women equally with incidence increasing from the age of 45 and the average age at diagnosis is 72.
